King of Our Little Castle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a vinyl spinning slow tonight Old friends laughing in the kitchen light Mother Goose still watches from the shelf Tiny Dancer floating like a spell A desert wild boy met a Midwest girl Built a love that turned into a world [Chorus] Oh, the King of our little castle Heart of gold beneath the gruff Thank you for this wild ride, baby Three decades and it ain't enough Yeah, right — you'd say with that crooked grin But darlin', I'd do it all again [Verse 2] Long-distance love on a prayer and a song Blended five into where we belong Three kids grown, two daughters we gained Eight grandbabies calling out your name From Minnesota to Rocky Mountain high Harley humming under summer sky [Chorus] Oh, the King of our little castle Heart of gold beneath the gruff Thank you for this wild ride, baby Three decades and it ain't enough Yeah, right — you'd say with that crooked grin But darlin', I'd do it all again [Bridge] His nicknames — King Kenny, Ken-Bob, Kingo Papa to the babies, my forever hello Patience is a virtue, that's the lesson we learned And the music's still playing every song in its turn [Verse 3] A little slower now, a little wobbly too But the weekend road is still calling for you Quick-witted man with that smartass charm I'm still safe right here inside your arms Ken, you're the laugh that lives in my chest The wildest ride, the very best [Chorus] Oh, my King of our little castle Heart of gold beneath the gruff Thank you, Ken, for this beautiful life Three decades and it ain't enough [Outro] Spin that record one more time Kingo, baby, you're still mine It ain't over — not just yet Best ride I'll never forget
